This Australian horror movie follows one of the usual horror movie recipes: a couple get lost when they’re on holiday and they meet a group of crazy people. The only question is: will they survive or not???

Well, for a satisfying ending and bloody, gory moments, I’ll give this movie a 6.8 stars out of 10. Mind you, though, that it’s rated R for strong bloody horror violence, terror, gore, language, some sexuality and nudity.

The Story:

Rob (Robert Taylor) and his French wife Pia (Nadia Farès) go on a boating trip together, but they get lost when they try to get back to the pier. They end up in a small island inhabited by three guys named Jimmy (David Lyons), Brett (Mathew Wilkinson), their Dad Poppy (John Brumpton), and their fierce dog.

They find a small, messy house and there’s nobody inside, so they get in to find the phone, but to no avail. Then Jimmy, Brett, and Poppy get back home and they threaten to kill Pia and Rob if they don’t get out of their place. As usual, then Pia and Rob must try to get out of their clutches alive, since those three guys intend on making their life miserable, especially after Poppy finds out that Rob has seen their marijuana plants. So Rob and Pia are put in one big barn and there they try to use any tools they can find to fight for their lives. It’s also clear from the start that Pia is going to get raped, so how is she going to survive the attack when it comes?

Here’s the trailer:

Spoiler:

Since Rob’s leg is hurt, Pia has to prepare the necessary traps in the barn since she knows that Jimmy, Brett, and Poppy are going to kill them in the end. She has also prepared a bottle and sharpens one part of it to prepare herself for the “rape” that’s going to happen (I don’t need to tell you where she puts the bottle, right?). Anyway, the first person to come inside the barn is Brett. Rob and Pia pretend to be asleep and then they attack him. Brett ends up dead.

‘Coz Brett doesn’t come back to the house, Poppy tells Jimmy to check up on him and to bring Pia to him. So Pia follows him into the house and when Poppy tries to rape her, his private parts get cut off by the sharp edges of the bottle that Pia has prepared. He runs out to the bathroom and Jimmy comes up to find out what’s going on. Pia manages to run away from the house to the barn. Pia and Rob attack Jimmy, close the barn door, and try to run away with their truck. However, the key is missing, so Pia has to go back inside the house to get it.

Meanwhile, Poppy is able to get rid of the bottle from his private parts and he comes out to get Pia. Pia grabs the car key and try to turn on the ignition while Poppy is coming closer and closer. Pia and Rob are saved from Poppy’s clutch since their dog attacks Poppy. The dog thinks that Poppy is “edible” because it loves the smell of blood. 

Jimmy gets out of the barn by force, but before he can do anything much, Pia manages to kill him. So both Pia and Rob are safe in the end.
